Growing Soccer's Future
Coach Jonathan Rosales
Hello and welcome to NLTSOCCER, my personal commitment to fostering excellence in soccer coaching and player development. I'm Jonathan Rosales, the heart and soul behind this venture. My journey through the realms of collegiate and professional soccer, including captaining the University of South Florida Men's team and playing for Orlando City B in the USL League One, has equipped me with a rich tapestry of experiences. Representing the U23 El Salvador Olympic Qualifying Team was a highlight that broadened my perspective on the international stage.
In 2021, fueled by a deep-seated passion for soccer and a desire to cultivate budding talent, I established NLTSOCCER. Over the last three years, I have poured my heart into coaching and nurturing players, focusing on the holistic development that encompasses technical skills, physical fitness, and the invaluable qualities of leadership, teamwork, and determination.
At NLTSOCCER, our goal is simple yet ambitious: to sculpt champions, ignite a lifelong passion for soccer, and contribute to a legacy of sporting excellence that goes beyond the pitch. Join us on this exciting journey, where your soccer dreams are transformed into reality under expert guidance.
